To enable this feature, tick the checkbox Also assign when extra ticket. When users purchase multiple tickets, the users' information will show up under the lists linked to each ticket in People > Lists. The users will also be able to access all activities linked to each list.

Re-ordering tickets

If some tickets are sold out, the tickets that are still available will be displayed on the Purchase form in the same order set in the platform.

Reordering groups

By default, groups are arranged chronologically on both the Groups dashboard and the Purchase form. However, changing the order of ticket groups allows the foremost group to be displayed first, along with its associated tickets, on both the Tickets dashboard and the Purchase form.

Rearranging the order of tickets within a group does not affect the sequence of the groups themselves. However, any changes in ticket order will only be reflected within the respective group.

To reorder ticket groups, navigate to Groups and click on the Edit button. Use the drag and drop icon beside each ticket to reposition the order of the groups. This will automatically reflect on the List page where the tickets are displayed.

After completing the purchase, the selected ticket will be displayed at the top of the list, above other purchased tickets, within My Tickets in the Virtual Lobby.
